- America OnLine* will work only with their software for the Palm* OS, which is available from AOL*1
| Note |
Xircom does not provide support for third party dialers. This link will take you off of the Intel website. Intel is not responsible for the content on this site. | |
- MSN* will allow connection but you cannot download email. The mail servers for MSN require the use of Outlook Express*, which is not provided on the Visor, to receive messages. Also, you must have "msn/" in front of username.
- Most non-fee ISPs require additional software to access any network resources. Please check with the ISP for information about support for the Palm OS.
- CompuServe* will work, but you will need additional script information to connect. This information can be obtained through CompuServe's Technical Support.
- Mindspring* should work. Users must verify their username, password, and connection settings.
- Earthlink* should work. Users must have "eln/" in front of username.
- AT&T* WorldNet* (regular service) should work.
| Note |
AT&T WorldNet's login name may be different than that of the username. Also note that the i4.95 plan requires ad banners and cannot be supported on a PDA. Any "special" or "discount " program that requires an ad banner cannot be used on a text-based application. | |
- It is recommended to have an ISP that does not use a software dialer. Most local ISPs do not use software dialers.
| Note |
The SM56GA does not support K56Flex connection. It will only support V.90. If the modem you are attempting a connection to does not support V.90, then the SM56GA will drop down to a V.34 connection (33k to 28k). | |
